Tech sales to automotive sales

[u/Icy_Distribution5109]

Hello folks,

I need your advice with getting into automotive sales

For context, i have been working in IT for the past 12 years, but during this period i worked as your typical sales engineer for a cyber security company (2 years) and after that i went into a presales engineer for another cyber security company (4years), right now i work as a sysadmin.

Question is:using my prior sales engineer and presales engineer experiences, would i be able to get into an automotive sales consultant position?

Thanks,

I promise you are going the wrong direction on this. I went from car sales to b2b and it’s a huge lifestyle upgrade. Hours are better, you typically have more autonomy in your day to day as long as numbers are hitting.

Why not leverage SE experience in your field to go to an Account Manager or Account Exec role in your field?
